Once upon a time is how it always goes |
|
But I'll make it brief |
|
What was started out with such excitement |
|
Now I'd gladly end with relief |
|
In what now has become a familiar motif: |
|
That nothing is good enough |
|
For people like you |
|
Who have to have someone take the fall |
|
And something to sabotage-- |
|
Determined to lose it all |
|
Critics at their worst could never criticize |
|
The way that you do |
|
No, there's no one else, |
|
I find,To undermine or dash a hope |
|
Quite like you |
|
And you do it so casually, too |
|
Cause nothing is good enough |
|
For people like you |
|
Who have to have someone take the fall |
|
And something to sabotage-- |
|
Determined to lose it all |
|
Ladies and gentlemen-- |
|
Here's exhibit a |
|
Didn't I try again? |
|
And did the effort pay? |
|
Wouldn't a smarter man |
|
Simply walk away? |
|
It doesn't really help that you can never say |
|
What you're looking for |
|
But you'll know it when you hear it, |
|
Know it when you see it walk through the door |
|
So you say-- |
|
So you've said many times before |
|
But nothing is good enough |
|
For people like you |
|
Who have to have someone take the fall |
|
And something to sabotage-- |
|
Determined to lose it all |
